Bangalore-based ZuAI secures Rs 4cr for AI educational technology

Bangalore-based AI educational tech startup ZuAI has secured INR 4 crore in seed funding from Prime Venture Partners, with plans to significantly enhance learning experiences for Indian students.

ZuAI, an AI-powered tool, aims to bolster academic outcomes for 100 million students over the next three years through its unique, interactive education model.

Co-founded by Anubhav Mishra and Arpit Jain, ZuAI’s innovative learning platform currently supports thousands of students across India daily. The company’s future strategies include development of sophisticated tools that would allow learners to create a study lecture on any topic within five minutes, as well as adaptive test series for real-time learning progress.

ZuAI’s technology enables students to interactively engage with their textbooks, assist in test preparations, and generate concise notes. Its unique features include personalized learning paths, multimedia resources, real-time feedback, performance analytics, and 24/7 accessibility. Notably, the platform also supports multiple languages, accommodating a diverse array of learners.

Anubhav Mishra — ZuAI co-founder said: “We started ZuAI with a simple vision of enabling all students to have access to a personal tutor 24×7 and make learning interactive and personalized so that they can learn at their own pace. This investment will empower us to improve our platform’s capabilities, reach more students in India, and make a lasting impact on their educational journey.”

This funding, led by Prime Venture Partners, serves as a testament to the growing interest in edtech startups specializing in AI-assisted learning. The platform adheres to the Indian CBSE, ICSE, and State Board curriculums, and is built on the NCERT recommended textbooks, showcasing the alignment of technology with traditional educational methods.

Sanjay Swamy — Prime Venture Partners managing partner said: “GenAI is driving a massive transformation in education and ZuAI’s key insight is that curriculum-based education is where the action is, and where a personalized tutor can truly change outcomes for students.

“We’re delighted to back the ZuAI team to help students benefit from the state-of-the-art in AI, while also giving parents the comfort that their children will get coaching that is both relevant and curriculum specific, without the broader distractions of the Internet.”
